Symphony® Cleaning & Disinfection Recommendations for Workplace Pumps
Did you know the Symphony hospital-grade (multi-user) breast pump can be shared* by moms in the workplace anytime? Featuring overfl ow protection, breast milk is blocked from entering the breast pump. The breast pump kit (breast shields, bottles, membranes, and tubing) for each mom is separate from the actual pumping mechanism and protects breast milk from entering the pump with a specially designed membrane. With easy and effective cleaning and disinfecting, employees can have the confi dence they need to pump at work for their little one.
How to Clean & Disinfect – Before Each Use
Cleaning and disinfecting are two different activities; each must be done separately.
Cleaning – The breast pump should be wiped down with a clean, damp (not
wet) cloth. Use drinking-quality water and mild dish soap or a non-abrasive
detergent. Rinse with a clean, damp (not wet) cloth to remove soap residue.
Let the breast pump stand for 5 minutes and allow it to air dry.
Disinfecting – The breast pump should be wiped with a clean, damp (not wet) cloth that is soaked with a surface disinfectant agent for medical devices. Medela recommends using an alcohol-based surface disinfectant agent (minimum 70% alcohol). Let the breast pump stand for 5 minutes and allow it to air dry.
Why are both steps important?
Cleaning physically removes contamination from the surface. Disinfecting kills
living organisms, such as bacteria or viruses that might be on the surface of
the breast pump.
Recommended Disinfectant Products
Follow disinfecting agent manufacturer’s instructions for use.
- Alcohol-Based Disinfectants
- Meliseptol® rapid (B. Braun)
- Incidin™ Foam (Ecolab)
- CaviCide® 1 (Metrex)

Ensure the pumping room is stocked with enough supplies so that pumping employees are able to keep the Symphony breast pump clean at all times.
NOTE: Employers may have different procedures in place for keeping pumping rooms clean. It is important the equipment and room are cleaned on a daily basis and between uses. Lactation spaces should be included in the standard cleaning protocols employers have in place for all other common areas in the workplace.
*Breast pump kits are a single-user item and should not be shared by more than one person.
